Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Not worth recent rate increases

Pros

Elevator and modern appliances in unit

Cons

Paper-thin walls, poor security management with stolen packages and trespassers.

Advice to the owners

Create better communication between land lords and tenants. Update security/mailbox systems, as well as better sound insulation between units. And add washer/dryers to basement floor.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Don’t live here

Pros

Elevator building convenient location nice neighbors

Cons

Roaches constantly!!! Elevator is sketchy and will break down with you in it at times. Lobby is always hot and smells like garbage. Walls are paper thin and you can hear all your neighbors conversations. You pay for your own heat as it is electric heat. Rent is extremely overpriced for a very poor quality poorly managed building. Live somewhere else you will be guaranteed to find a better deal. I moved out and it was the best decision I’ve made.

Advice to the owners

Fairly price the units for what they are actually worth Add washers and dryers Put some ventilation in the lobby Better security for prevention of package thieves
